Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every care home event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Count families and staff too
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Halal is not offered
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. By late September, the light in Allbrook goes at about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
